First comes the buzz, then the total bummer,

sister. Being poor, it was turpentine

mixed with fizzy Koolaid. Memphis Croaker,

the kids called it. I tried Blue Loo Moonshine,

Purple Powder Hooch, Krud Kutter rot-gut.

Too sick to write, I lay in bed for weeks.

Maggots under the skin. My brain-socket

all wrong. Praying to the Goddess of Freaks

for words. Blithe, Oven Cleaner Juice be Muse

words, and… that “total bummer” was made flesh.

Flesh to bruise and scar. Proof something happened.

Proof-filled stump of butcher’s thumb. Blue dress blues.

“Make it Def,” no longer served. “Make it Fresh,”

though, still tasted of gasoline and almond.

Wastelands. Uterine waters. Sweet hubris

licks the roof of my mouth; which is to say,

I’m the one who puts the “price” in priceless.

Twitch is to J: thirst we muck, then we pray.

Face down. Nape exposed. Dread bite the pillow,

biscuit. Brunt kiss; undo madness. Your slender

moistures flood unto squelches; spit-muck’s flow

spreads and splurges, whilst one crooked-stack finger

unknots the curve where you strum, drum and squirt.

Cruel? Yes, like how shadow, that fell organ,

sloughed that sough. Vast. Which is to reinsert

me in you. E ‘n U. Go Uterine!

“Dear Spit-Muck (that I first named Clit-Suck) how

I miss you? Which is to say: sough that slough.”

A troll writes, hoping that I’ll die by choking

on my own genitalia… I mean, sure,

if I was *that* flexible, deep throating

myself to death holds a certain allure,

though my gag reflex has proven stubborn.

Something to put on the gravestone. “He died

as he lived.” Maybe: “You living, who mourn

the dead, aren’t very fuckable.” I lied,

neither am I. Still, on mornings like this,

on tea, hash and blow, I *feel* fuckable

and so pretty and witty and… won’t last.

Never does. I remember that last bliss;

before trolls and dark times. Back when carnal

meant all that was joyful, sacred and vast.

“salt grist in grind mill.”

Yes, there are calm lagoons *and* seas of flame

with my bier riding their currents. Harbors

are for the loveless and shameful since shame

always turns away from love. Some rivers

and sludge will drown you, if drowning in sludge

is your kink. Here’s my boat, my flesh, which floats.

Until it don’t. “Blues like that.” Like this grudge

I keep with my humours and bile. “K’, totes!”

K? “Sea’s breast/ all unrest.” “From the dark deep/

typhoons reap.” Gimme monsoons soon and storms

that swarm and waves that breach. There’s no levee

this deep. No home. No sludge. Just grudge’s sleep

and grudge awake. Tote that twists and transforms.

K’. I’ve more than Queequeg’s coffin in me.

Today on, “Postmodern or AI slop?”

we’ll mock the Iowa Writers Workshop

for their terrible taste. Barbaric yawp

it ain’t. Stop. “Make that pussy pop”? No, stop,

fool, you can’t rhyme everything just with “op”.

Why? Who doesn’t love a stiff leather strop?

What? Like a strap, but with, how you say? Whop?

No. Chop? Yes! I love a stiff strop with chop.

“Chop chop!” Don’t try and be funny, foul fop.

See? Scenery chewing! Over the top?

A tad. Full stop? Please, just once, no bebop,

no scat singing. “Doo-be-shoo-be-shop-plop

-plop.” Ugh. I’m the top sop in the crop top?

Joypop’s flop? Ho, fuck bunny’s last Aesop.

“I’m a big fat mama, got the meat shakin’ on my bones/ And every time I shake, some skinny gal loses her home” ~ Ida Cox (1939)

“Hurry up and crone!” you groan, menstrual cramps

being what they are. Change been a long time

comin’ in this world of tramp stamps and vamps.

Mental fog and fatigue. “This itch makes playtime

kinda…,” you confess. Kinda? What flows floods.

What floods transcends. The lips at the center

where the tongue slides in. Cum thick like the muds

of hell. Lolly gagging. Toe curling. Whir

and blur and… “gag me, Lolly.” Neighbors wag;

I wolf, you howl. Quake peaks. Nip slips. Blood claws.

Flash floods. Mudslide mustache. Rag ride you

home. Slag? No. Itch in witch and hag in shag.

There is no bat mitzvah for menopause.

So, dear heart, this will bloody have to do.

All that is cupped. All that is pumped, gushing,

from the faucet — across your open palm.

Scant damp lacquer. Love enough dribbling

drown my lip in honey-soaked, big-bone mom

folds. Tongue of needle. Mire of mollusk. Bog

rich. Rime and lilies but not hoar frost. Glee

burgling between thighs. Glee like sweat. My dog

debt to you. “Nothing but the dog in me.”

Stop. “Crone zone”? No. But clit lit leaves a stain.

Disco’s bane? P-funk’s kismet. How whet works

across your plump lump. Let the ease of sleaze

leave your sighs split, thighs jelly. Leave my brain

broken? Your stoned crone boned. Where bedlam lurks?

From the pump. Across the palm? Gushing. Please.

No, take it literally. One eye. Cyclops?

Slutclops. One horn? Flugelhorn, naturally.

Purple? “Make it plop, boo.” Deep purple plops

sound rude. Why Earth? To play rock on TV.

Like MTV? And to wear, “short-shorts.” What?

“Booty butt.” What? “Tutti frutti is bomb

booty/ alien booty.” What? “Butt-slut:

awop-bop-a-loo-mop alop-bom-bom.”

And the purple people eating? Dah-link,

that’s glam cock slang; all bisexual porn

martyrs ate purple. “When the kids had killed

the man…” Stink in the twink? “That’s not pink kink.

That’s just cock flock.” Rock and roll flugelhorn.

Plops da perk? “Plop it, boo.” Plopped it & chilled.

There are reeds, pussy willows, that burn. Fire

knows this, feux follets. Blue dull candle haze

out in the swamp. Copse-deep, naked in mire,

sick-stuck glow. A dusk full of purple-grays.

Grays and purples. Twilit from my hips down.

Pure muck. Bum from my hips up: bunglesome.

“Also, leeches… so, fire, leeches, might drown.”

“While nude in a swamp, yes, I know.” “For some

that’s a perk.” For some. Fire burns reeds. I see

them out in the gloam. Reeds riot — Ruh-roh,

Raggy — sick-stuck in muck. Dengue fever

burns, feux follets. Hazy blue gloom. Hazy

blue doom. Ah, prophecy. Fade away glow.

Then chill. Not in muck but mucker’s pleasure.

The muse, which is to say, all these taboos.

She bop. Shave ’em dry. “Just a little bit

of juice/ keeps him in line.” If these are blues

they’re the sloppy kind. Fit for a misfit

pervert rinse, perhaps. Any damn long song

that longs that gone, that wrong, and still wants more,

is dearth the trance. Any thing marred and long

from pain and cocaine, muse. Your bedroom floor

took our abuse blues. Little bit of juice

sung down low. “No, chow down/ on my downtown,

goy.” Fit for a squirt, I’ll blurt, from between

your thighs. Croons tunes, titties. “Juice will seduce.”

“Go south and get me some more.” “Cum and drown

me” ————–The scratch of a needle drop, I mean.
